Revolving blade skinning device and revolving blade thereof

A revolving blade skinning device, comprising:

• a handle;
• a pair of covers mounted to the handle;
• a revolving blade mounted between said pair of covers;
• and
• means for rotating the revolving blade, wherein:
• the revolving blade includes alternating cutting edges and notches;
• the radius of the revolving blades equals the radius of the cutting edges;
• the cutting edges are sharpened on both sides and each extend over an angle of 25.degree. to 35.degree.;
• the center of the revolving blade and those of the cutting edges coincide;
• the notches are V-shaped and each extend over an angle of 10.degree. to 20.degree.;
• and
• the revolving blade projects past the covers to a maximal extent of 1.5 mm, wherein:
• the radially outermost edges of both covers form alternating humps and depressions;
• and
• said covers are mounted to said handle such that the humps of one cover overlap the depressions of the other cover.
